I haven't really bought a set in decades at this point, although I still appreciate LEGO a lot. It's a combination of them having shot up in price pretty intensely where I live due to a seemingly ever weakening currency and my disposable income gravitating more towards gaming and tech these days. I'll be damned if some of the ideas sets aren't tempting though!

The one kind of exception here is I did pick up a full set of pre-owned gen 1 toas last year for pretty cheap because it's something I've always wanted to own. I'm glad bricklink exists lol

Right. I'm a fellow Jellyfin + NixOS user so I'll try and investigate if I manage to find some time over the next few days. I'll report back if I find anything of note!

People abusing that is also often brought up as a reason or at least excuse for publishers to bleed developing countries dry when it comes to pricing, ask me how I know :/

Ah, interesting! I'd have guessed about a dozen annoyances before that one even came to mind haha. Hope you have a good time around these parts at any rate :)

Also, I'd never taken a serious look at the German layout but going by the truly wild differences there you may as well stick with what you have IMO, I think it's what I'd do at least.

So a form is basically a group of fields, think name, email and whatnot. By default, whenever you press enter in one of those, the browser takes whatever content is in the fields and follows some steps but the end result is it reloads the entire page. Nowadays that's not what you want 99% of the time but it's still the default behavior, so you have to instruct the browser not to do so by adding a couple lines of code. Whoever programmed this particular website then thought to inform the user that wasn't going to work on top of presumably suppressing the original behavior.

I've been thinking about that. It's the one walled garden I don't mind, I've poured shameful amounts into it but the thought is always there in the background that it can't go on like this forever.

At the end of the day I don't mind too much and just try to enjoy it while it lasts, since worst comes to worst I'll just have to sacrifice some convenience and dive back into full-time piracy to regain access to the vast majority of the content anyway. The wonders of an open platform!

Yup, that'd be fantastic! We also probably wouldn't have to choose between gyro and analog triggers when it comes to third party controllers and their usual Switch Pro Controller/xinput modes if that became a thing.

Taking a closer look, you're right. I was fooled by the headline there, serves me right for not double checking 😅. As a Wii owner back in the day I'm all too familiar with the limitations of accelerometer only controllers so that's massively disappointing.

I'll probably be sticking to playstation controllers for the foreseeable future anyhow for how feature packed they are, just wish gyro became more widespread.

Best Brazilian representation in gaming bar none tbh, love the guy

Right you are, I didn't mean to gatekeep. More of a subtle dig at the IMO out of place bigotry on display on the original comment.

Also worth noting they're one of the very few cloud providers I'm aware of with regional pricing, the annual family plan's bang for your buck is simply unbeatable where I live. Not an apples to apples comparison but to put it into perspective, my 1TB Hetzner storage box runs me about the same as my 365 family plan, except the latter has 6 times the raw storage among all people.

Why ick? Guess I'm out of the loop on that one
